    I love how 2020 has just been: DC, DC, DC, Overwatch, DC, DC, DC, Crash, Crash, Crash, Crash, DC

  • MobianSyndicate 🔧🎤🐀Mobian Syndicate🦌🦔🐦 (@MobianSyndicate) reported

    need help too. That's one of the major problems with games like Smite and LoL. Overwatch too even though it's not a MOBA. Rant over. Onto the next match.

  • clrmr0 clara (@clrmr0) reported

    @kisslandmomo i hate blizzard for ignoring overwatch's problems, the game is so good, but it has too much bugs. Some people cant even play it without the game freezing. Its frustrating.

  • spikeywolves Spikey in COLOR 🎨 (@spikeywolves) reported

    Overwatch removed scatter arrow 3½ years after release which podiums in my mind as an embarrassingly late fix to a broken mechanic, but here we are 14 years in and twitter's sudden unprovoked refresh is still thriving

  • NeoRhylie 𝚅𝚒𝚋𝚋𝚊𝚛 (@NeoRhylie) reported

    He’s using slurs about this poor girl and just going in on me like some child. So I message him to just relax himself and not make a real life issue over some game of Overwatch, because I wanted to keep the peace between everyone

  • sirmile_ christian (@sirmile_) reported

    Gonna have the same issue with overwatch cause I can't get that comic tracer skin again, wish I could just transfer it over

  • BeachEpisode Motherboard Slumd0g from the WetWork NetWork (@BeachEpisode) reported

    @JoshlikeGermany I keep forgetting that Overwatch 2 exists, despite Overwatch 1 marketing itself as a for-life constantly updated service

  • Tonythedomo Tony Nguyen (@Tonythedomo) reported

    @redmercy not sure why there isn't vc. just copy valorant or overwatch. disconnect from chat if you don't feel comfortable and utilize ping.

  • ambz999 amber thinks life is overrated (@ambz999) reported

    Let’s talk about how I keep getting login error when I try to play overwatch 😭

  • LoLVixzy Vixzy (@LoLVixzy) reported

    @magmavire @MarkYetter Report system like CSGO with overwatch so players can help with the things that the automatic system is not working, like people griefing, running it down, etc.

  • JUSTANCORPORATE 𝑽 ! (@JUSTANCORPORATE) reported

  • GasStation_King 𝑫𝒂𝒏 🐺 (@GasStation_King) reported

    Playing Overwatch and ignoring all my problems as i should

  • HarlequinVamp HarlequinVampire (@HarlequinVamp) reported

    Gonna stream for a bit before going in for my first night of work at the new job. Been wanting to stream PC Overwatch but sadly I've had some lag occasionally & I don't think it'd work well so I'll have to wait until we can afford to get a gaming PC which will probably be a while

  • Eggsxy Eggy (@Eggsxy) reported

    @ZenoKagemaru @KaminaritheBOI @PlayOverwatch The amount of salt coming from your fingertips is incredible, I really mean it. Really, if you have a problem with overwatch so bad, don't play the ******* game lmao. I've gave you multiple reasons of why overwatch is doing their best to push content out. Any with each comment—

  • MikeJoh72168506 Mike Johnson (@MikeJoh72168506) reported

    @maej43 long term senior care facilities need the gov't to send in critical care "overwatch" for the staff & clients. Are all staff being screened daily , temp checks etc ,same for clients, food service,kitchen staff, housekeeping etc, I'm sure this is not being done

  • SgtPepperChan 🍓PepperChan🍓 (@SgtPepperChan) reported

    I have played over 7 hours of Overwatch today... I think I have a problem-

  • DBShovel D.B. Shovel (@DBShovel) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Please fix the #smurf issue in #overwatch All games have 5 or 6 now. Either crushing everyone because their main account is platinum or throwing games. They are manipulating the game to gain an advantage. Which should be considered #cheating.

  • UmmarWhosayn Big Disinfectant (@UmmarWhosayn) reported

    missed out the ps1 crash bandicoot games, ps2 ratchet and clank games, overwatch (when it was good) and prolly a bunch of others too

  • Padderooz Michel Dinel (@Padderooz) reported

    I still have trouble understanding it for Overwatch when you can get EXACTLY what you want with in-game currency over a week of playing here and there VS wasting extra money after base game to get random loot u already have. Money value deficiency? Instant gratification disorder?

  • Tendou1879 Merry ChrisMatt 🎄🎁 (@Tendou1879) reported

    Dear Overwatch: STOP ******* BACK-FILLING ME INTO GAMES AT THE DEFEAT SCREEN. Broken-*** ******* game. You'd think a multi-billion dollar company could sort a REAL system out.

  • jonathanbrostar nathan (cool guy) (@jonathanbrostar) reported

    To the rando on Overwatch who waited until we lost to ask "So why, did we have a dva?" first of all, my performance that match was not the issue, second, you played ana the whole time, third, you DIDN'T SPEAK UP SOONER, and fourth, **** you

  • emoti0ned Miles-Aria 🇪🇪 (@emoti0ned) reported

    @ScrollWasTaken In LoL it honestly depends, top lane is either 50/50 all game or one tank is absolutely dominating the lane. But there are few tanky characters who are broken as **** and always going like 20/1/8 or whatever. But yeah overwatch really be like that

  • GraftsNotHere Not your mother's Alabampire (@GraftsNotHere) reported

    @MusketAnna They tried that with Overwatch originally, but the problem is that the community in Overwatch is literally so dumb and the classes in support and whatnot are so much less incentivized and rewarding that they'll just play all-dps.

  • KaiserinMad ☽ maddy ☾ (@KaiserinMad) reported

    The only problem with my Tank SR in Overwatch being so low is that I have to watch our Mercy, who was the last person on our team alive in the fight, ult to run away instead of just resetting omfg

  • babefivenine rott (@babefivenine) reported

    i been waiting indoors for a food delivery that is now an hour late but i can’t go out the house to skate and my tv is broken so i can’t play ring fit and i can’t hop in overwatch cus i might get disrupted mid game by the delivery hhhhhhh

  • sourmeIon tiana (@sourmeIon) reported

    my overwatch voice chat broke and i have no clue how to fix it oops

  • ReshiRed_ ℛ𝒆𝓼𝓱𝓲ℛ𝒆𝓭🌺 (@ReshiRed_) reported

    @andrew_jrt @PlayOverwatch I've had this issue for so long now, my old potato used to run overwatch at 50 fps on lowest settings and tabbing would kill the game, but i still have this issue with my now beefier pc.

  • oxtonbot lena (@oxtonbot) reported

  • snowsetdeer Accidental Ghost Prince 👑 (@snowsetdeer) reported
